Andy Murray made another big stride in his comeback journey with a win against Mackenzie McDonald in the Citi Open in Washington. His reward for picking up what is only his second win in 2018, is a rematch with Kyle Edmund.

Whilst Murray has been out of the game following his hip surgery, he has watched Kyle Edmund flourish to take his spot as British No.1. Now ranked 18th overall, Murray will be hoping to get back to his previous form with a good win over his British rival.

Edmund beat Murray at Eastbourne

It was not long since Murray lost to Edmund at Eastbourne, so Murray will have some added motivation for the tie. He will take plenty of confidence from his 3-6, 6-4, 7-5 win over Mackenzie McDonald who is ranked at 80th. The win is certainly a step in the right direction for Murray who looks to have recovered from the disappointment of not being fit enough for Wimbledon this year.

Murray has stepped up the pace

The match lasted 2 hours and 37 minutes, which is by no means a particularly long one but it will have given Murray a good test to see how far he has come since his last competitive match. He has had four weeks of training since the loss to Edmund and it looked like there has been some significant improvement for Murray in that time.

Of the match with Edmund, Murray said: “I’ll have to play much better if I want to win that match, more aggressively. It will help to have one more match under my belt.” The opponents know a great deal about each other’s ability, having been practice partners for a long time now and the match will be a good challenge for them both.

What time is Murray vs Edmund?

The match will take place at 9.30pm UK time for the British tennis fans that will be keen to see if Murray can continue his comeback trail.
